I think this is a backdoor move by the AGW crowd.

Remember Pol Pot? Kill anybody who wears glasses. Kill the scientists and engineers (what few they had). Kill the educated. Only then could he bring in his form of oppressive socialism - where kids are starved to death, etc.

Look, science is under real attack these days. Many "peer-reviewed" studies are starting to be withdrawn (in the health/pharma realm) because they are found to be nothing more than corporate marketing tools and full of B.S. Even within the CDC - the scientists are starting to blow the whistles on themselves for work done over a decade ago. It's amazing to see. You bet - they want to muzzle the scientists, they must.

Simple solution, scientists.
Don't work for the looters.
Then you can have free speech again, until the dictators decide they don't like that either.
